The Wooing of the Holy Spirit
The Lord has been talking to me this week. I stated in The Mission newsletter that I am discerning a grace to receive healing and restoration for things things uncovered in our time of fasting. It is as if God is calling us as a people to seek the very gift He is wanting to give. There is an old term for this, it is the wooing of the Holy Spirit.
In the middle of the pivotal chapter of the book of Isaiah it reads,
Seek the Lord while he may be found;
call upon him while he is near
There are times that God enables people to enter into a deeper relationship with Him by the person of the Holy Ghost.
While a full scale awakening is hard to dismiss, much of what the church has seen in the last century or so has been revival and renewal. That does not make it a lesser move, just different. But it does make it more difficult to discern what God is doing and we must be sure to “seek Him while He may be found and to call upon Him while He is near”.
I have a strong sense that the Lord is drawing in a special way. Missionaries, while we are ending our 12 days of prayer and fasting, do not miss your day of visitation.
